GROWTH OF A BIG BooK.-When Web
ster's Unabridged was first published in
one volume, it was comparatively
small book. Some years after an adj
htion was made of 1900 Pictorial illus
trations, A Table of aynonyms, and an
Appendix Of New Words that had come
into use. A few years later came an en-
tirely new revised edition of larger size,
with 5000 Pictorial illustrations, then,
after interval of few years, Biograph
ical Dictionary of nearly 1000 Names
and Supplement Of nearly 5000 New
Words were added, and there has come
a new and most valuable addition. A
Gazetteer of the World, of over $4,000
Titles. The work is now not only the
Dictionary, par excellence, but Bio
graphical Dictionary, Gazetteer ofthe
World, and great many other good
things in its many valuable Tables.

Heavy Opium Hauls.

AS Officer No. % was patrolling hii
beat, about 9 Is O'Clock last evening, be
neared the corner of Nuuanu and Queer
streets, and there his attention was at
tracted to a white man who acted in 9
suspicious manner. At first the officer
thought the stranger was one of the late
nominees for the police force, and that
in itself made him keep an eye on the
mans movements. Upon moving
towards the man the officer was some
what surprised to see him drop bundle
and run quickly in the direction of the
Iron Works. Not being filed with the
fear of dynamite or other explosives, the
officer proceeded to inspect the discarded
bundle, and, much to his surprise and
pleasure, discovered that he had cap
tured lot of opium-one large cOntainer
with twenty tins, a smaller box with ten
tins, and nine loose boxes, a total of
thirty-nine tins, of a probable value of
about $500. The captured cargo was
conveyed to the Police Station and
placed in the safe keeping, for the time
being, of Captain Kauhane.
While the Marshal and Deputy
Marshal, with Captain Kauhane, were
specializing over the probable ownership
of the aforementioned lot of opium,
their quandary was added to by the ar
rival of a couple more police officers,
aided by jolly Jack Tar from the Van
dalia and a waterman who plies the boat
Fair Play, the party being laden with
another quantity of captured opium.
The waite man related that as he was
coming from the U. S. S. Vandalia tc
wards shore, with the jolly Jack as a
passenger, and when close to the stern
of the steamer Australia, his oars be-
came entangled with line running out
in the harbor The aforementioned
jolly Jack, in mischief, commenced to
haul in on the line, and soon both were
engaged in the work of discovery. The
result of their labor was the bringing to
the surface of some bags of very heavy
weight, which, when being hauled on
board, the contents were revealed to be
nine large tin boxes, each containing
twenty smaller tins of opium-a total of
$50 tins; probable value, 81 400. The
Marshal would be pleased to learn the
names of either or both of the unknown
contributors to the wealth of the King
dom. In the meantime he is, like
Oliver Twist, DESTROYS of obtaining

A MURDEROUS MICHIGAN.
A Serious Stabbing ARRAY Among
ShipmateS.

Some of the crew of the q. S. S. Mohi-
can were on visit to the Commercial
Saloon about IL O'Clock last night, and
two of them, Samuel Quinn and
Daniel O'Brien Cloth coalheavers). were
standing at one of the side tables talking.
Quinn's attention was attracted by an
other shipmate, an ordinary seaman
named Jim Lunden, and the converse
ton between these became somewhat OF
a growl. Suddenly, without the slight
est warning, Lunden drew out knife
and cut Quinn across the head and face.
O'Brien, rushing in to quiet the trouble,
was also carved by his treacherous ship
mate. The Mortified barkeeper imme-
diately shouted for help and Mr.. James
Welsh came down stairs to his assistance.
there were the two injured men on the
floor, while blood flowed in a regular
stream from the wound of O'Brien, and
Quinn's hands, arms and face were COW
cred with the CORY fluid. The dastardly
shipmate Lunden had taken flight, but
had left behind his hat and the weapon
used in the cutting. Mr.. Welsh imme-
diatelv obtained assistance and the
wounded men were conveyed to the Po-
lice Station Marshal Kaulukou at once
detailed officers to search for the fugitive
Lunden, Deputy Marshal Pahia joining
in the pursuit, and also telephoned for
surgical assistance. DIR. Rodgers not
being readily obtainable, DR.. Trousseau
was sentfor Word was also sent by the
Marshal to the Vandalia. On the arri-
val of the physicians the wounded men,
after examination, were removed to the
hospital, where they are at present. The
weapon used was small pocket-knife,
and O'Brien, who is the worst cut, re-
ceived slash fully twelve inches in
length, extending from the left center OF
the forehead down to, and severing the
left ear Quinn received several wounds,
none of which are necessarily fatal.
At 80 O'Clock this morning Captain
Tell succeeded in effecting the capture of
Lunden and brought him tothe Police
Station, where he freely acknowledged
having committed the cutting, but
claimed that it was done in self-defense.
Lunden is native of Liverpool, Eng
land, and is regarded as pretty tough |
character. O'Brien is a native O. Boston,
and Quinn is native of New York city |

The Ballet Girls Ocle.

Those who take the pains to observe the
chorus girls in the burlesque and comiS
operas say that the red cared era is over.
Taking the idea from Bernhardt, the small
ones Of the stage painted their ears bright
pink. Their new affectation is called the baby
